Sample Book Insights:
#1 The book A History of the Life and Death, Virtues and Exploits of General George Washington was published by priest Mason Locke Weems in 1800. It was a commercial venture, and it worked. The book sold well, going through some eighty editions.
#2 The story of Washington kneeling in the snow at Valley Forge is a lie. There is no historical evidence to support it. Washington was a man of little or no religion with a strong character that would have prevented showy religious displays.
#3 The Weemsian myth is disrespectful, as it reflects Weems’s character rather than Washington’s. It drags Washington down to an imitable level, as he was not a man of ostentatious piety.
#4 The argument that America was founded on Christian principles is flawed. The founders had personal beliefs about religion and god, but those beliefs do not prove that they used those principles to found a nation.
